FEINWERK 16mm SUBMINIATURES

(1950) A top-of-the line submini, it comes with a focusing 20mm (f2.8) lens.
Shutter speeds of B, 1/30-1/1000. The camera uses the sprocket holes of the
film to advance the film. The viewfinder slides out of the body and keeps
the camera very compact. Available in black, gold, silver, or black
with white or grey. The Mec-16 used a slightly modified RADA
cassette-setup. A regular RADA cassette could be used for the film
supply side -- as in all RADA cassette cameras -- but with the Mec an additional
Mec cassette is needed on the take-up side. You can tell teh difference
between the original model and later models because the shutter release is
on the front of the camera on the original.

Mec-16 (model 2)

This is a more unusual version and is really a transition model. It
is a Mec-16 styled like a Mec-16 SB.

(1960) This was a new, updated model of the Mec-16 with a built-in
behind-the-lens metering system. In fact, this camera made
photographic history
since it was the first camera of any format with TTL metering. It
came with a new, built-in Gossen selenium meter and sported a Rodenstock
f2.0 lens making it one of the
fastest subminis ever
made. The lens focused from 1 foot to infinity. Shutter speeds
of B, 1/30 - 1/000. A set of seven filters was available. What
more could you ask for?
